How Did Women Pilot Writers Fare For 2012? 
Hmm, I’m told it’s a multtalented actor-writer-director-producer angry at the studio. @ParamountFilms was set up two weeks ago:
Not since we released Breakfast At Tiffany’s has Paramount been prouder to bring yellow face 2 cinemas with our fantastic The Last Airbender
Opening July 2 is a movie we @ Paramount are very proud of, The Last Airbender. See white kids pretending to be Asian in glorious fake 3-D!
Get use to these. If we at Paramount get our way, this is the only way you’ll be able to see movies in theaters http://twitpic.com/1o4fob
We @ Paramount Are proud 2 say that we’re sitting on loads of cash thanks to Iron Man 2. None of that cash will be going to make Anchorman 2
We have decided that if Will and Adam pay for Anchorman 2 out of their own pocket, we’ll release it. The ball is in your court @ghostpanther
We at Paramount are proud to announce that every film we release from now on will be in 3D! Why? To get more money from you dummies.
We @ Paramount are proud to announce that we have just green lit a reboot of 48 Hours starring @bowwow & @ZachEfron directed by Brett Ratner
We at Paramount are proud to announce that we just signed Mike Meyers to write and star in the sequel to his comedy classic The Love Guru!
Instead of funding Anchorman 2 we are doing a reboot of Hot Rod starring @danecook to be written & directed @andydick for release next year!
To all who are upset about about us not green lighting Anchorman 2, we at Paramount say screw you! We have more reboots to fund instead!!

Hilarious, sure, but to be hostile about not backing an Anchorman sequel? Seriously?
Studios, writers, actors, creatives: How about a totally new movie that’s not a sequel or based on a video game/comic book/Japanese movie? How about something original that’s not regurgitated, repackaged, rebooted from something else?
Do all the reboots and films based on videogames and boardgames, etc. suck? Sure.
But so do the sequels. The world needs ANCHORMAN 2 as much as it needs another CLUE movie.
What happened to “the original screenplay” in Hollywood?
Though “48 Hrs with Bow Wow and Efron directed by Ratner” sounds AMAZING. I’m so there.
All of the “Anchorman” gripes lead me to guess Adam McKay…or maybe Ben Stiller, who fits the “actor-writer-director-producer” box, this account is following on Twitter, and now has Red Hour at Fox and is being C-Blocked on a “Zoolander” sequel by Paramount.
Kudos to the author of this!
Why can’t there be more of this banter in Hollywood? Everyone’s so afraid of losing money to speak the truth.
Why can’t all producers carry in their pants and skirts balls as big as coconuts?
The anonymity, of course, notwithstanding.
Actually, it’s more likely Ben Stiller.
Adam’s got the balls that he wouldn’t hide behind a fake twitter account. He’d say it himself.
No Anchorman sequel?!?!?! A true travesty! I know I’m crying myself to sleep at night. So too is my neighbor, whose six-year-old daughter recently relapsed with Neuroblastoma, and my uncle, who was flooded out of his house this Spring, and the guy at the bus stop on the corner, who received his last unemployment check this week…
Get a grip.
I would see a reboot of “48 HRS” starring bowwow & ZachEfron before I would see “Anchorman 2.”
I’d actually quite like to see Anchorman 2. To all the people who didn’t find that movie funny it would be nice if you’d mention a couple of contemporary comedies you did like, just so we could tell if you actually had any taste or not.
And yeah, sounds like Ben Stiller to me, if only because of the obvious avoidance of Zoolander 2 references.
Anchorman 2??? There are thousands, correction – hundreds, correction – dozens of good scripts out there. And you want to make Anchorman 2??????
How about the Studio’s buy an original concept for once! Instead of remaking, or doing sequels to crap like Anchorman.
Let’s see. There’s
Minus Men – by Wyatt Wakeman
Roaches – by Andrew Costello
Dark Void – Based on the Video Game
And just the last three I read this week!
Wait. That Avatar cartoon the film is based on was created by two white dudes from Canada. No joke.
This was Stinkersfish since the cartoon came on the air. Phony is what Phony does…
Arthur Millers Underpants.
“Anchorman Away?”
All sequels suck !!
As a screenwriter who specializes in un-produced spec scripts (ie: original material), please allow me to reiterate: HOLLYWOOD COULD GIVE A F*CK ABOUT ME AN MY SCRIPTS!!!! Or you and yours….
So let them keep making these bullsh*t sequels… One of these days, when their last nickels spent, and Madagascar 8 and Transformers 12 and Mission Impossible the 32nd all bomb, we will be the ones who can sit back and sanely say:
“i told you so.”
LOSERS…
This is hilarious. No way anyone should pay to watch that last airbender crap. I loved the cartoon series, but they really screwed up the movie with the casting.
Love The Last Airbender comments X-D
Anchorman 2?? Really? Got no interest in that one. Seems obvious this is coming from somebody affiliated with that production (or wannabe-producition). But re Airbender, the tweets are spot-on. Surprised there isn’t more fan backllash, but I guess everybody’s used to yellowface and racism in Hollywood by now…
